I move amendment No. 83:

In page 61, between lines 16 and 17, to insert the following: “(e) in subsection (21), in paragraph (q), by the substitution of “section 31 of the Electoral Reform Act 2022” for “section 3 of the Act of 1998”,”.

The purpose of these consequential amendments is to take account of the enactment of the Electoral Reform Act 2022. Amendments Nos. 83 and 316 update references to sections of the Referendum Act 1998 and to the referendum commissions in order that they now refer to the Electoral Reform Act and, an coimisiún toghcháin, the new electoral commission. Amendment No. 319 amends a reference in the Electoral Reform Act to the Broadcasting Act 2009 in order that it now refers to the relevant section in this Bill.
